big space

[Bernard Aschwanden]

Esc, Space, m
Esc, Space, n
Esc, Space, t
Ctrl+Space

Em space, En space and Thin space.

The last is a non-breaking space.

One of the combinations should work for you and leaves it open to other things you may want to do as well.

Hope that helps,

Bernard

Subject: big space

Hi, guys...I'm in FM7 and I need to include a wider than normal
space. The context is a commnd line interface command line and both I
and the developers want to make the required spaces in the command
line a little wider so they aren't missed. 

The quick kludge I came up with was to create a character style
called "big-space" and make it the equiv of 18 pt, opposed to the 11
pt for a normnal space.

My first choise wouldbe to have a space equiv to an M-dash, maybe
called M-space?

Is there such as puppy?  How have you guys addressed this? One way I
know I don't want to do it is to change a color. Also, we use smart
spaces, so putting two spaces together is not an option.
